In case you didn't find this in TB, it's in Account Properties ..
Transport .. SMTP Server .. Authentication .. Use "POP before SMTP
authentication".

(Interesting!).

Huh! They clearly don't understand how hard that is for a TB user!!

So, let me get this straight: Runbox provide you with POP and SMTP
services while your ISP provides you with a PPP VPOP to access the
other services.

Okay - there's a terminological mistake in this para which might
indicate some of the problem (or it might just be a typing slip). POP3
is the Post Office Protocol (v3), used to collect incoming mail for a
user. You will collect your incoming messages from the RunBox POP3
servers using this protocol. SMTP is the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
used to route outbound messages.
Does your main ISP have an SMTP server? If RunBox have messed up the
configuration of their SMTP server (which is what it seems to me has
happened here), can't you use your ISP's SMTP server instead? It
doesn't matter which server you use as long as you have authorization
to do so. You don't have to use RunBox's SMTP server for outbound
traffic just because you want your inbound messages to come through
that route.

Not overnight, no.

Like I say, that's inbound. The problem is with outbound. You're not
bound (groan) to use RunBox for outbound mail.

I'll bet!

Well, see if there are any shreds of aid in the above.
